Map 2, Inferno
It was back and forth in the first half of Inferno and then just smashing hits from Vitality in the second one.

To the semifinal and beyond! The path of Team Vitality and MOUZ at BLAST Open Fall 2025
The tournament started with online matches of the closed qualifier. The 16 participating teams were divided into two groups to play in double-elimination brackets. MOUZ and Team Vitality got seeded in different groups.
MOUZ
The team had ups and downs. Even their opening match versus Imperial Esports started as a disaster: with 2:13 on Overpass. MOUZ won eventually, delivering 13:4 and 13:7 on Mirage and Nuke.
Facing G2 turned out to be less stressful for MOUZ, as it was 2:0. A mirror score against FURIA threw MOUZ into the quarterfinals, while Vitality skipped this stage, as the #1 team in the group. Still, MOUZ gave quite a fight! On the second map, Mirage, FURIA won only in overtime, 16:14 in their favor.
Team Vitality
In theory, Vitality got themselves an easy path, considering the level of this roster. However, each match turned out to be difficult for them, and Team Vitality won only with full three-map runs, 2:1.
- Versus M80 — Vitality lost the opening map. It was 3:13 on Overpass.
- Versus GamerLegion — The opponents took map 2, Inferno. The score was closer this time, 7:13.
- Versus FaZe — To win here, Vitality had to survive two tense overtimes. It was 17:19 in favor of FaZe on Mirage and 19:16 in favor of Vitality on Nuke.
